First up, SORRY to all you gents for whom this blog isn't quite so relevant.
Smarta evening networking and speaker events are back! We’ll be travelling around the UK with our partners Santander to bring you a series of free events with a fantastic line-up of speakers titled ‘Sharing The Secrets of Startup Success’.
We’re kicking off in London on Tuesday 30th June 2015 with a strictly ‘Women In Business’ event. Sorry chaps!
We understand it can be a nuisance to receive an email for an event you can’t attend, but we wanted to let you know about the programme (we absolutely want you at all of the others!) and thought many of you would want to pass on details about this month’s event to your female business friends and partners.
All the ‘Sharing the Secrets of Startup Success’ events are aimed at providing you with the inspiration, practical insights and professional support you need to start your own business and see it survive and thrive.
We believe the best way to achieve anything in life is to surround yourself with successful people who have already done it. That’s why we’re giving you the opportunity to put yourself in a room with:
- Top female entrepreneurs who’ve already grown successful companies
- Women business owners doing it right now who are 2-5 years ahead of you
- Industry and banking experts who’ve worked with thousands of startups
- Women like you who understand the pressures and challenges of starting up
Thanks to the support of our partners Santander, we’re able to give you this opportunity for free instead of the hundreds of pounds we’d otherwise have to charge.
However, we are strictly limited to 100 attendees per event - so you’ll need to move quickly to secure your place.
SIGN UP NOW to book your place at the first ‘Sharing The Secrets of Startup Success’ Women In Business event on Tuesday 30th June 2015 at London’s One Alfred Place from 6.30pm-9pm.
